Abstract

A viable short-term strategy has been outlined to breed productive composite populations. The major steps in the strategy are generating a base gene pool, reordering it into a productive gene pool by appropriate systems of mating and siphoning composite populations through effective selection. The strategy was field tested in Pennisetum typhoides and Brassica campestris and found efficient. The utility and implication of this strategy are discussed.
